<title>GrADS Command: run</title>
<body>

<H2><B>run</B></H2><P>

<code>run <i>filename &ltarguments&gt</i></code>

<p>
This command runs the script contained in the named file, which
generally has a <code>".gs"</code> tag at the end. Optional
<code><i>arguments</i></code> are passed to the script as a string
variable.

<H3>Usage Notes</H3><P>
<p>
The <code>run</code> command and the <code>".gs"</code> extension may
be implied. A Grads command such as: 
<ul><code>run cbar.gs</code></ul>

<p>
may be simplified to: 
<ul><code>cbar</code></ul>
